Cant sign into facetime
Ok i have tried signing into FaceTime with two different accounts and it keeps saying,"Cant sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." I am positive my wifi is working. Any suggestions?
Sorry to say but yes you are not alone.
There are other threads if you want to get into the detail but here is the best advice so far
1) make sure you have internet
2) make sure your time settings is not too far adrift (emerald sequoia free app will tell you) and try and adjust to get close to real time.
3) call or go online to apple support and go up the chain - explain that it is an AppleID validation problem (if you don't have AppleCare then that should wave the cost) - get the problem referred to engineering
4) keep trying (daily) to get in
5) don't expect Apple to get back to you to say it's fixed
6) if it persists then join the discussion in the main thread (47000 views must indicate something is up!)
Good luck!!

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you also have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies. -

Cant sign into Facetime and iMessage
Until april, they were working flawlessly, but has stopped signing in...
Unlike other people, it doesn't give me any error while trying to sign in, but nothing happens. I put my email and password and click Sign in but a loading circle turns for a sec and nothing happens. I tried every reset and just 10 minutes ago I chose erased all the media and settings but still no success. Is it a widespread problem?Sorry to say but yes you are not alone.

Cannot sign into Facetime on MBP
Hi there I have a new Macbook Pro Retina and I cant seem to sign into facetime using Mac OS X 10.7.5
when I put in my apple id and password it constantly says 'Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.
My wifi is fine as im posting this from it.
Any ideas to help me solve this problem?
CheersHI,
That is the same on my iMac (Mountain Lion), MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard and my older G4/1Ghz Dual processor tower.
The tower definitely has a separate Graphics card.
It would appear that this is not your issue then.

Dear Friends,
I am unable to contact my friends on FaceTime last 5-6 days. Although I am connected to the Internet and browsing my mails successfully, when I sign into FaceTime with correct ID and PW a message appears ' cannot connect to server. pl check Internet connection' this is very confusing. Pl help.
thanks
ARabinda GangulyMake sure your time zone and time are correct. Have the iPad get the time automatically.

Can not sign into FaceTime or iMessage on ipad air
For some reason I can not sign into FaceTime or iMessage using my Apple ID anymore. They both used to work, but they just stopped.. Now when I try to sign back in I get a message than an error occurred during sign in. I use two different Apple id's, one just for iCloud and one for everything else.

I'm having trouble signing into facetime. Keeps saying to check my network, but the internet is fine and my firewall is turned off. I'm a Clear internet user and I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not.
there has been a big problem with facetime and imessage. The best solution for this case is to restore your device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Make sure you back it up. and I would set up facetime before you reinstall your backup and make sure its working. -
I can't sign into FaceTime or iMessage using my Apple ID.
I Have been trying to sign into both iMessage and FaceTime on all my apple devices. And it won't sign into either one of them. I know the password is correct because I am able to use iTunes and iCloud.
but its only with my Apple ID. I signed into FaceTime with my friends account and it worked perfectly fine.
why won't it sign in with mine?Hello nfgaan,

i cant sign into icloud. prompt says: " the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iphone". Please help.. what must i do??
Once the maximum number (three) of iCloud accounts have been created from a single device, you cannot create any more no matter what you do. You will need to create your iCloud account on another device or reuse one of the accounts that has already been created on this device.
